In this study, green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous extract from Hymenaea courbaril resin (HCR) is reported. The successful formation, functional group involvement, size, and morphology the subject H. mediated (HCRAuNPs) were confirmed by Ultra Violet-Visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques. Stable high yield HCRAuNPs was formed in 1:15 (aqueous solution: salt solution) reacted...
Malaria is one of the serious diseases threatening human health in Pakistan and contributes to a large proportion total malaria deaths South Asia. However, little known about nature extent genetic diversity malarial parasites circulating Pakistan. This study was designed assess infection status Plasmodium vivax falciparum by analyzing msp-3α, msp-3β msp-1, msp-2 genes respectively using allele specific nested PCR RFLP assays. For this purpose, 130 field isolates were collected from...
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics and host defense systems is primarily due bacterial biofilm formation in antibiotic therapy.
